Summertime means party time! What better time to catch your crush’s eye with a sweet new outfit. If you’re convinced he won’t even notice
your get-up, guess again. We asked some of our real-life BGFs what they thought
of summer’s hottest trends. And, well, they have more opinions than we thought
they would! Here’s their take.

Christian, 16: “I hate this trend! They look like old man pants.
I do not get it.”

Jake, 15: “Why? Just why? What is the point?”

Will, 16: “This is a look that some girls can pull off—keyword:
some. You gotta be careful what you’re wearing them with and how.”

Neon

Christian: “I like neon, to a point. If it’s crazy bright, it
just hurts my eyes. But if it’s slightly neon, that’s cool.”

Jake: “It depends on the location and scenario, but it can either
hit or miss.”

Will: “I agree, neon is very hit or miss. It’s very attention
grabbing. If you do want to wear neon, I’d try it in a more simple fabric, like
cotton, so it’s not too overpowering.”

Off-the-Shoulder Shirts

Christian: “I’m not crazy about this one. It makes it look like
the shirt is just too big for you.”

Jake: “These bug me for some reason. I get all OCD and want to
fix the shoulder!”

Will: “I think shirts with normal straps are better, personally,
just because some girls look uncomfortable when they’re constantly adjusting
how it’s falling and you can see discomfort on their face when they’re trying
to fix it.”

Tie Dye

Christian: “I love tie dye! It’s so down-to-earth and cool, and
the girls that wear it are always fun!”

Jake: “Tie dye is cool. It’s fun and it reminds me of summer.”

Will: “I’m not sure how I feel about really bright tie-dye. It can
be a little too intense. But I’ve seen girls rock more faded tie dye dresses
and they look awesome!”

Bermuda Shorts

Christian: “Eh, I haven’t seen them pulled off well, but maybe it
can be done.”

Jake: “No! I like short shorts!”

Will: “Again, hit or miss. It’s all about how you wear it.”

Sundresses

Christian: “Sundresses are great. They look good on everyone and
they’re seasonal and pretty.”

Jake: “Sundresses are hot! I love when girls wear dresses,
everyone looks better in a sundress.”

Will: “Sundresses are almost always great. I love sundress
season! Who wouldn’t? I love when girls drift from the classic floral pattern
to stripes or other fun patterns.”
